Sustainability and Expansion <br /> While the initial OKO Green program will focus on a cohort of youth working 15-20 hours per <br /> week for eight weeks (June -August 2023),the long-term vision is to create a sustainable and <br /> scalable model that can be replicated and expanded to serve additional at-risk youth and <br /> neighborhoods. <br /> Revenue generated through the sale of wildflowers, pumpkins, okra, sod and/or other gardening <br /> crops, as well as income from lawn care contracts, will be reinvested in the program to support <br /> ongoing operations, maintenance, and growth. In addition, OKO Green will explore <br /> opportunities to expand its range of services and develop partnerships with other local <br /> organizations, businesses, and institutions. Finally, the OKO Green program was started with a <br /> monetary gift from a committed benefactor, which funds can be tapped as needed for operational <br /> expenses. <br /> 3 <br />
